V. READING COMPREHENSION
1. Read the passage and choose the best answer
Cabbage is a very common vegetable antive to England and northwestern France but now grown in many parts
of Europe, Asia, and the American continents. There are three kinds of cabbage, and all have the common characteristic
of leaves gorwn very close together, forming a hard, round head. The three types are white, vavoy, and red. While the
white and red cabbages have prominent veins in their leaves, the savoy has trinkled and blistered leaves.
Cabbage seeds are quite small. Farmers normally sow the seed in rows that are about 36 inches apart. After
young plants have sprouted, the rows are thinned to allow a space of 18 to 24 inches apart between plants. Cabbage is a
biennial. Farmers normally grow it one year, store it during the winter, and replant it in the spring to produce seed. By
controlling the temperature to which the plant is subjected in this way, farmers can produce either heads or seeds.

2. Read the passage and choose the best answer
The agricultural revolution in the 19
th
century involved two things: the invention of labour-saving machinery and
the development of scientific agriculture. Labour-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labour was scare. “In
Europe”, said Thomas Jefferson, “the object is to make the most of their land, labour being abundant; here it is to make
the most of our labour, land being abundant.” It was in the United States, therefore, that the great advances in 19
th
century
agricultural machinery first came.
At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude plough, farmers could have carried practically all of
the existing agricultural implements on their back; by 1860, most of the mechinery in use today had been designed in an
early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plough. As early as 1790 Charles Newbold of New
Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plough and spent his entire fortune in introducing his inventions. The

farmers, however, were not interested in it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow.
Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to the plough, until in 1869 James Oliver of Indiana turned out the first
chillied-teel plough.
